Article Synopsis
- Chronic pancreatitis is a serious inflammatory condition of the pancreas requiring various treatments including medical management, endoscopy, or surgery.

- The findings suggest that pain management is crucial in treatment decisions, highlighting the importance of personalized, multidisciplinary approaches for chronic pancreatitis patients.
